A Taiwanese woman, Wang I-Ting, bought a work pass in Singapore illegally to stay with her boyfriend, got married, and was arrested 2 days later. She had been living illegally in Singapore for almost 1.5 years, paying SGD 1300 monthly. Her defense lawyer argued that she acted out of 'deep love,' but the court still sentenced her to 6 weeks in jail, with plans to appeal. The woman worked in Singapore as a domestic helper from 2015 to 2020 and met her Singaporean boyfriend in 2019, leading to a long-distance relationship until she illegally obtained the work pass to return to Singapore and be with him.
